Artwork auctioned at 17 times the upper estimate price
The work “Fu Di” Poems in Running Cursive Script by Wen Zhengming was worth HKD 26,850,000.00 (€ 3,217,582.73) to a buyer in December last year. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 1,500,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wen Zhengming - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poems In Large Running Script, which sold at auction in May 2019 for HKD 83,227,500.00 (€ 9,525,364.61).
